Masyn Winn delivered a walk-off bloop RBI single in the 11th inning Wednesday afternoon for the St. Louis Cardinals, who edged the New York Mets 2-1 in the rubber game of a three-game series.

The Mets frittered away a bases-loaded, one-out situation in the top of the inning before Tobias Myers (0-1) opened the bottom half by intentionally walking Ivan Herrera. Myers then got Alec Burleson to hit into a double play before Winn's fly ball landed just beyond diving right fielder Carson Benge as automatic runner JJ Wetherholt scored.

Gordon Graceffo (1-0) earned the win by getting the final two outs of the 11th. Graceffo, who relieved Chris Roycroft, got Brett Baty to hit into a grounder that forced Jared Young at home before he retired Marcus Semien on a fly to right.

Nolan Gorman had an RBI single in the sixth for the Cardinals, who have won their first two series.

Juan Soto homered in the top of the sixth for the Mets, who were 0-for-11 with runners in scoring position as they fell to 1-2 this year in extra innings. New York has scored just 12 runs in five games since an 11-7 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Opening Day.

Cardinals starter Matthew Liberatore allowed one run on three hits and one walk while striking out two over six innings. Mets starter Freddy Peralta allowed one run on three hits and two walks while striking out seven over 5 1/3 innings.

Liberatore retired the first 14 batters he faced before Mark Vientos doubled while Peralta allowed just two hits and allowed only one runner to get into scoring position before both teams broke through in the sixth.

Soto hit a homer off the right field foul pole two pitches after Francisco Lindor was picked off first by Liberatore. In the bottom half, Peralta issued a leadoff walk to Wetherholt and gave up a single to Herrera before he struck out Burleson. Huascar Brazoban entered and induced Winn to pop out before surrendering Gorman's RBI hit.
